LNRMC

This week at LNRMC, I had a 67 yr old female that was a RTK. She was very easy to talk to and we talked about many things. She was a diabetic with hypothyroidism. The doctor was going to let her go home on Friday morning, but her blood counts were low, so he ordered her two units. That was a really neat process to see. Naomi helped me on Friday with her because her patient went home. I got to help Brandon and Teresa as well. I got to watch Brandon and Teresa start IV on his patient. I had planned on starting one on my patient, but they just used her existing 20 gauge IV for the blood, so I missed out. However, this was a real exciting week and I really enjoyed it. We had really great nurses last week and this week. I will really miss them...I go to Peds next week.
